    You're going too far in the other direction. Obviously the price of oil fluctuates regardless of the strength of the dollar as it always has. Supply and demand play a huge role, as well as the perceived impacts of geopolitics on both of those. Dollar printing obviously has some impact, but to...

    Market has already started pricing in 3-4 rate hikes. If it craters it'll be now, but wouldn't be surprised to see S&P pass 5k by end of year. On the flip side real estate has already run so far so fast, can it keep rising? Maybe.. we moved into our house 15 months ago and the price has...

    Curry is a decent player on a nice deal but overall deal is pretty good for the Sixers too... IF Harden can get back closer to his Houston game. The rules aren't reverting back, but I think he'll be a much better fit with that team than the Nets. Both teams got better, scary for the East.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    So i'm guessing you were happy to see the stadium filled with over 50% Niner fans so your team would have a better shot of winning, but as soon as one of them gets knocked into a coma its "YGWYFD" ? What a stupid fucking thing to say.

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    For the same reason Brady wanted to - he grew up a 9er fan, wanted to be like Joe, and nothing would be sweeter than capping off his career with a title while wearing the red and gold. I don't think guys like this are looking at the difficulty of the division. They regard themselves as the...

    2021-2022 NFL Season: Deshaun Watson will die a Texan!

    I said it half in jest. Expecting Lance, hoping for Rodgers. Its not an unreasonable hope since we know Rodgers wanted out - so why wouldn't he want to come home to a fully loaded team. Niners had the same fucking opportunity with Brady and said nah, we're good with Jimmy... Lost another...

    That Tartt drop.. not quite Kyle Williams bad because he only did it once, but that plays going down in championship game infamy. feel bad for him, that's one you'll never get over. Rams clearly were the better team, but Niners were that close to facing a team they beat a month ago on the...

    Blizzard dies and Bobby rides

    I'd be curious to know how they valued the parts internally. The mobile IP obviously has a lot of value in generating revenue and profit, and gives them something they are severely lacking (mobile eyeballs), but is not super synergistic with the current xbox prime directive of getting as many...

    Gonna be interesting to see if this one looks like a good value in hindsight 10 years out. Its easy to argue that this is a good time to make an acquisition like this with excess cash because of all the inflation and the fact there are not many good places to put cash (so much already...

    I don't think this reflects some new view that AR / VR won't be as big as they'd hoped. They're probably just admitting that iOS / Android / Windows will still be the dominant OSes and its just a waste of resources to try to create their own OS for this future. Meta still investing tons of...

    Companies aren't pushing console prices higher to squeeze customers, they're doing it to break even. When you look at the power you get a PS5 or Series X vs. a PC at a same price point, either is an absolute bargain. They are taking like no profits on the hardware to try to keep you in their...

    I have a little in Intel with sub-50 cost basis more for the foundry side of things. WIth the chip shortage, politics in Taiwan, US companies don't want to have to rely on TSMC as much as they currently do. Intel falling behind TSMC in their nodes is the main reason AMD and Apple have...

    Mostly agree, but we've seen that he can be a big part of a finals team. I think he's not as bad a fit next to KD and Harden / Joe Harris etc - more shooters there. The big thing for him to help his team to be successful is that he needs to shoot less. If he can do that and then focus more on...

    Westbrick's impact on the Lakers starting about as expected - still such a weird deal for them to add him as an obviously poor fit with Lebron. I'm starting to wonder if we might not see a Kyrie for Westbrick swap. Kyrie undoubtedly a better fit with the Lakers, and if he can't play with the...

    You lost me here, cause you don't know what a "hyper sentient being" would or wouldn't want to do. It seems completely within the realm of possibility that such a being could simply want to be here to observe, yes over thousands of years. But it most likely wouldn't be the same being, or even...

    Basketball hof is a relative joke because the NBA doesn't have its own. College coaches, wnba players, foreign players.. they all go to the same place. It's not the elite fraternity that mlb or NFL hofs are. You can find much bigger wtfs than Chris Bosh in there.

    Musk isn't trying to go to Mars to make money, he just wants to go. SpaceX might turn into one of the most valuable companies on the planet in time, but there's no way that was his driving motivation when he got into it. Unless he's putting on an act, he's going to be happy if he can take a...

    The AR industry was supposed to generate 100 billion by 2020, who knows. And I don't think VR has to first succeed for AR to, may be more the other way around.

    He was watching that series and thinking if he was healthy they'd have won and be on their way to the finals. Doubt he moves from LA to Dallas after that. PG had a surprising resurgence in that series after many were ready to write him off.
